Here I am with the load of wood from Lowes. See the hint of red lights at the hatch door in the back. That is because the back hatch was tied closed but was open a little from the 12 foot boards we used.

One last picture of the old china cabinet.

(Sorry, I always have several projects going. See my table)

This was my Friday night job, when I came home from work. Staining all the wood. Also took some sand paper to just knock some of the edges off the wood.

This is what most of my projects look like when I am trying to make sure I know where all the studs are. The ones going up the wall in the middle are for the spacing of the shelves.

This is from the other side of the dining room.

Here we are installing the side supports. You want to make sure you get your heavy duty long screws into the studs.

Our wall was just under 12 feet. For the top 3 shelves I used 2x10x12 pine. The lower 2 shelves, I used (2) 2x8x12 per shelf. Because of the width of the room is almost 12 feet, we did put a 2x3 support in the middle of the shelf. Attached to the stud and then we also attached the shelf to the support.

We totally love them. I was able to show off so much of my family's treasures. It is such easy access.
